“…In gamma ray spectroscopy applications with scintillators, the small microcell SiPM technology leads to important advantages. First, the lower correlated noise determines a lower Excess Noise Factor (ENF) that leads to better energy resolution performance (the statistical contribution can be modeled as δ st = 2.355 • (ENF/PHE) 1/2 , where PHE is the number of photoelectrons) [3]. Second, the combination of the short recovery time with the high dynamic range significantly improves the linearity of the SiPM response to high-energy gammas, which produce several hundreds of photons per event.…”

The aim of this work is to provide the characteristics of Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) high-density SiPMs with an active area of 2.2x2.2 mm 2 (15x15 µm 2 single cell size) in gammaray spectrometry with LSO and CsI:Tl scintillators. The measurements presented in this work covered: measurements of the single photoelectron spectra, characteristics of the breakdown voltage versus temperature, verification of the excess noise factor, selection of the optimum operating voltage for energy resolution, verification of the linearity of the SiPM response for both used scintillators, verification of the number of photoelectrons and gamma-ray spectrometry for a wide range of X and gamma ray energies from 22.1 to 1408 keV. The results of energy resolution obtained with the FBK SiPMs readout and two different scintillators were compared to those obtained for the same scintillator with the XP2020Q PMT.

“…The gamma spectrometry of tested scintillators was performed with three different types of photodetector, developed by Hamamatsu: R6231-100 PMT, S3590-18 PiN diode and S8664-1010 avalanche photodiode (APD). Also additional measurements with Hamamatsu 6 Â 6 mm 2 MPPC array, used previously in [6,10], were also conducted. Each crystal was coupled to the photodetector with silicone grease in order to improve the light collection.…”

“…The sum of the signals from all of the APD cells gives the SiPM output pulse. In consequence, the number of fired APD cells is generally larger than the number of detected/ incident photons [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The details of the operating principles, the theoretical model and the analysis of the linearity and pulse height resolution of SiPMs have been extensively studied and can be found elsewhere in the literature [3,4,[9][10][11][12].…”
